Also did you recently upgrade to Catalina or newer? those broke tons of stuff

I know that PlayOnMac uses Wine and I can’t figure out how to use it on its own but I’ll try and figure it out
I actually downgraded my computer back to Mojave after one of my family members updated it. I used it with PlayOnMac smoothly until around 6 months ago so I know Catalina isn’t the issue

macos up to 10.14 avialbe here

although it is no longer updated thanks to apple basicly trashing tons of stuff they need in catalina

im interested in the new m1 chip

not interested in it being arm tho

i am very impressed with it's effeciency, even with it needing to emulate x86 stuff

ive heard

it emulating x86 stuff

i hope someone manages to get linux on it, not a fan of macos myself

is sometimes faster than x86 running native

depends on which CPU you compare it to, but yeah its really impressive

I used to reallylike mac os

was a pretty good multitasking os

with the gestures but nowadays i think a lot of companies add that in

with their touchapds

the main problem i have with it now is apple constantly killing off support and breaking stuff, like catalina blocking 32bit apps cause apple said so

honeslty if my wife and i didnt play video games as much i probalby would use mac os full time

i'd do the same with linux, i run Manjaro on my laptop that i use for everything but games, which i run on a server/desktop at home

Im in my ubuntu vm pretty much 80% of the day

and then close it down to play video games

plus for work i havent found a half decent microsoft exchange client for linux

not to mention it would probably cost an arm and a leg to get something that could drive my 2 4k displays

for gaming? or just display output?

just display output

although i do game on them

oh i meant getting something mac that could drive 2 4k's

would cost an arm and a leg (i'm assuming)

M1 mac mini should be able to do it if you want the new ones, anything prior with any sort of displayports at all should also be capable of it

remember, their Type C usb are also displayports

for the m1 dual 4k it'l do one over thunderbolt and one over its HDMI 2.0

God Damn It

I havent had good luck with these 4K monitors over HDMI and USB Type C

The screen is noticeably more laggy

With a known good HDMI port, although I think I recently laerned one of the HDMI ports on these monitors does lower framerate so it might be that

@Evelyn S. 🇺🇸 - Have you tried with Boot Camp Assistant to install Windows 10?

I haven’t, but I’ve considered it. I want to avoid having to restart the computer each time depending on which OS I want to use but I might check it out again

Short terms:

Use:
1. Brave(Tied)
1. Firefox(tied)
3. Tor(will be the top if used VPN)
4. DuckDuckGo

Don't use:
Google Chrome

Nuc8 or no?

actually I think Searx is better than duckduckgo. try it out, you will be surprised I think.
